    The Bible supports social justice, as we have a covenant with God because “if he would do that us then we had better do that with one another” (Fischer, 2013) and look out for one another and become accountable to each other. That is one reason that government must be limited in the amount of power they yield on making policy or decisions that will affect a person’s inalienable rights of having the ability to make their own choices as to what they feel is best for themselves. In using a form of Sphere Sovereignty, “Citizens are required to participate in the political process as a means of limiting tyranny” (Fischer, 2013, p.2) and to contribute to solving the problems. There has to be limits on the powers on government as they “ought not impose a uniform policy on all” (Monsma, 2008 p.119) as there would then be no true covenant relationship as they would not be doing what is best or fair to all, as we all have the same inalienable rights. Leviticus 24:22 “You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.” (Holy Bible, ESV).…

    Notes on Dispensationalism

    • 54316 Words
    • 218 Pages

    The covenant theologian sees God’s revelation and man’s history as an outworking of God’s redemptive purposes for mankind, especially through Israel. It adopts the word “covenant” from the Bible but uses it in a different time framework than those covenants recorded through the Old and New Testaments. It chooses, overall, a less literal approach to Scripture interpretation, especially prophecy, and makes no clear distinction between the Israel of the Old Testament and the church of the New Testament. A modern modification is New Covenant Theology, which makes a complete disjunction between the old covenant and the new covenant. There is a modification of covenant theology based on the kingdom and its relationship to the covenants; this seeks to be a bridge between covenant and dispensational theology.…

    The Halfway Covenant was a form of partial church membership created by New England Puritans in 1662. It was promoted in particular by the Reverend Solomon Stoddard, who felt that the people of the English colonies were drifting away from their original religious purpose. First-generation settlers were beginning to die out, while their children and grandchildren often expressed less religious piety, and more desire for material wealth.…
